Do I stand a chance with Colgate?

<p>My sat score is 1810 (620 CR, 630 M, 560W).
I live in Bosnia and i don’t have so many options with ec-s, but my grades are pretty good. I contacted Colgate, and they said “PLEASE APPLY”;
but I’m not sure whether I had mentioned fin aid (which I would need, naturally). I was also thinking of applying to Hawaii (Manoa) and Bryant (RI). With fin aid, again. Any chances?</p>

<p>can’t tell with those stats…ur SAT score is a bit low for my liking…describe in detail about ur courses and grades…</p>

<p>Well,the best thing to do is…(only if u are NOT satisfied with the result…)…take a retest…well,it would hav been better if it were 2000+(sorry,I m not discouraging…)…as ur ECs are limited,the strong chance maker is your stats…:)…best of luck…n,btw,provide some details of ur stats,if u dont mind…;)…</p>

<p>Well, course curriculum in Bosnia is somewhat limited. We have 13 to 15 compulsory classes, the grades are on 1 to 5 scale (with 5 as the best) and my average grades were 4.53 as a freshman, 4.57 as a sophomore and 4.63 as a junior. My ec activities are learning English, of course, water polo and basketball, but nothing serious or impressive. I don’t know whether the admission committee will even consider my aplication?</p>

<p>obi 1…if u don’t believe in yourself…no one else will take the trouble of doing that for u…so have faith in urself and be confident…no one is born ‘super’ applicant…</p>

<p>I agree with Shail619…u must b confident n b cool in ur app…(i.e.,b yourself…;)…)…well,ur stats r good…if u can do anything to improve ur EC record then do so immediately…</p>

<p>yeah…u never know in college application… .tons weird things happen every year…</p>

<p>^…lol…indeed…</p>

<p>for instance last year in harvard my fren with 1910 sat got in and another one with 2300+ sat score didn’t …although legacy had a part to play…but still sounds so strange…doesn’t it??</p>

<p>Well,thats wat it is…its ur OVERALL thingy that holds the importance,not stats…</p>

<p>but u need to get ‘overally’ right…and i mean it… to get into ivies with 1900 SAT…</p>

<p>Well,thats wat I was sayin…</p>

<p>yeah…issac…i am getting more and more hopeful about vassar now…</p>
